~A Great Old Bowl~

While I was waiting for Theresa to come by, I thought

she had said 10, but when she didn't show up I guessed

I was wrong and it was for 11... Anyway, I decided to make

some pumpkin bread. I used a favorite recipe Ive had for

well I bet 40 years.. I made 2 loaves and will gave one to

Theresa. But when I was getting the ingredients all in one

spot on my small work table that's out by the window, I

had gotten my mothers old enamel mixing bowl.. A big

sort of olive, off color tea green maybe, in color.. I use

it for mixing everything.. its just a great bowl.. And it was

my mothers. :-)


I can remember from when I first started watching my

mother cook, well I always watched, but not until I was a

tad older did I really do anything other than just talk a

mile a minute and wait to lick the spoons and bowls :-) I

know my mother used this same bowl to make her famous

breads and cookies, it was a very used bowl. Perhaps

because Its a enamel bowl, kinda metal, is why it has made

it through all these years. All the wonderful foods that I
KNOW were prepared in it they couldn't ever be numbered.

I'm glad I have this bowl.. it brings back some wonderful

memories and I hope I can pass this bowl on to my kids, so

they can use it to prepare memories for themselves ... :-)

We are under the gun again for bad weather. Snow, sleet,

rain, ice... not necessarily in that order, but any way we get

that kinda CRAP, its not good. I worry about the roads and

with the kids, and Penny having to travel them. I have to

say I am very glad I don't have to get out in it.. And if we

get this today later on, I hope Penny can make it tomorrow,

I have 2 more packages to mail.. and if they don't go out

by tomorrow, well I bet they don't get them in time.. *sigh*

but that's me, I'm always late with this kinda stuff which

as fanatical as I am about other stuff you would think I

would be about this..

Well I have a bedroom to start working on. We got the

kitchen done and I finished the living room today, still

the hall and bathroom to go but I am not worrying with

it today. I'm kinda tired.. I got up at 5, but there was

stuff I wanted to have done before Theresa came to

see this place. as of right now, I'm going to post, she

is still late..its 11:30 and I have not heard.. I'm sure

I will.. maybe I misunderstood the time.. oh well I am

not going anywhere so what ever time she comes, I'm

here :-) Time to post, and write my GORGEOUS
WEEBLE "G'day, G'day" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? Love ya, and THANKS!

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
